Setting the Standard

Georgia ASYD

Georgia’s afterschool and youth development programs provide thousands of youth – from kindergarten through high school – with safe and enriching environments in their time outside of the home and school. High quality afterschool and youth development programs can make important contributions to young people’s development and well being. To ensure that Georgia’s young people are equipped to thrive and succeed in their lives, our afterschool and youth development programs must provide environments and experiences that benefit youth socially, emotionally, and academically.

The Georgia Afterschool and Youth Development (ASYD) Quality Standards and Conference is a collaborative effort that is endorsed by the the Georgia Department of Education, the Georgia Division of Family and Children Services, and the Georgia Department of Public Health.
